Wei Yuanchen walked forward and said nothing, Gu Mingzhu followed Princess Huairou to salute Wei Yuanchen.

Wei Yuanchen immediately said: "Princess cannot do this."

Seeing Lord Wei, Princess Huairou couldn't help but think of the Empress, and a look of sadness appeared on her face. The Empress treated her very well. How could she grow up in the palace safely? She always remembered it in her heart.

Everyone says that the Empress raises her by her side because she has lost the Third Princess. The Empress is not the kind of person who expresses joy. Even without the Third Princess, the Empress can no longer express sadness in front of others. Besides, whether to comfort or sadness when seeing other people’s children is more determined, the Empress has the final say. The Empress cannot bear to fall into the hands of those old palace ladies, so she took her to her side to take care of her under the excuse of the Third Princess.

During those days in the palace of the Empress, the Empress was not very close to her on the surface, but in fact she took good care of her. She did not understand at that time. After growing up, she gradually realized the Empress's good intentions. The Empress was afraid that the Kunning Palace would become implicated in the future.

So every time she sees the Wei family, she feels kind, because it is the Empress's mother's family and the real loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, after the second prince case, the empress was confined, and the Wei family was also careful to live. The palace was full of the imperial concubine's spies, and she became more and more regular, which lasted for five or six years.

Princess Huairou looked at Gu Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu goes to wait for me next to you, I will come later."

Baotong stepped forward and took Gu Mingzhu to the side and sat down.

Wei Yuanchen looked at the master and servant without leaving any trace. The big pot in the kitchen was steaming. Gu Mingzhu sat next to the stove. The firelight reflected her face, looking quiet and peaceful. Even if she felt irritable and restless, she would feel much more comfortable when facing such a face.

No wonder Princess Huairou is willing to take her with her now.

Gu Mingzhu felt Lord Wei's gaze. Lord Wei was afraid that she and Baotong would hear anything? It seems that Lord Wei's suspicion of her has not yet disappeared. He has never seen someone as suspicious as him.

Gu Mingzhu pretended to be nothing and sat aside and played with turning over ropes.

He was so concerned about what he was interested in. Wei Yuanchen snorted coldly in his heart. He sharpened his head and asked around for news. What exactly did he want to do? After the war horse case, he continued to investigate the envoy behind the scenes to pave the way for Gu Hou to the court? In any case, he didn't care about the Wei family, but about her aunt.

"Master Wei San," Princess Huairou said the most worried thing, "How is the prince?"

Wei Yuanchen said lightly: "I've saved it, but I've been hurt when I rescue you."

Hearing the words of damage, Princess Huairou's face changed slightly: "Is the prince injured in front of Master Wei San?"

Wei Yuanchen nodded: "In order to save the prince, I stabbed the prince with a shot." He pointed at his collarbone.

Princess Huairou's expression was even more ugly, and she pursed her lips tightly. The concubine would never give up when she knew this: "Mr. Wei San is in a hurry to go back to Beijing? I will move forward with the third master. I can tell the truth when I arrived in front of my father. On that day, the prince was caught in the trap and was kidnapped. Mr. Wei San once discovered the clues and found Tao Duo to try to stop it."

Wei Yuanchen shook his head: "The princess doesn't need to defend me. If she says too much, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. She believes that we will join forces to harm the prince. This time, the princess and the princess should make an effort to seek justice for the old general Zhao and urge the court to re-examine the case."

Princess Huairou knew what Wei Yuanchen meant: "Then you..."

Wei Yuanchen said: "Princess doesn't have to worry, I have a way to protect myself."

Princess Huairou pursed her lips, and she couldn't think of any good way for Mr. Wei San, but since Mr. Wei San was unwilling to say it, she couldn't ask again.

Princess Huairou paused for a while before saying again: "Can you use this matter to let the Empress leave Kunning Palace?"

Wei Yuanchen thought for a while: "That depends on what my aunt wants."

Princess Huairou stopped saying anything, and she agreed with Wei Yuanchen.

"Princess, the marquis and the prince consort are still waiting in front of you." Huang's mother whispered.

When Wei Yuanchen turned around and was about to leave the kitchen, he looked at the stove again. Miss Gu had already put away the rope. Her eyes were slightly drooping and she didn't know what she was thinking. She subconsciously touched the plate next to her, and there were a few pieces of ugly-looking snacks on the plate.

Miss Gu was not picky about food, and pinched the dessert that was about to fall apart and took a bite.

"Those red bean cakes are not ready, so don't eat Zhuzhu," Princess Huairou whispered, "I'll make another plate for you if I have time later."

Is that red bean cake? Wei Yuanchen's eyes showed the situation of the doctor eating red bean cake greedily.

Does Miss Gu really love red bean cake?

Gu Mingzhu came to her senses when she heard Princess Huairou's speech. She looked at the red bean cake in her hand. Although it looked bad, the filling taste was her favorite taste. While Princess Huairou was not in front of her, Gu Mingzhu pushed the remaining half of the red bean cake into her mouth so that the princess would not snatch it from her.

Princess Huairou stood there with laughter and cry, but fortunately the mold was not pressed properly, so it would be fine if she ate it.

When Wei Yuanchen left, Princess Huairou couldn't help but sighed. She was really useless. She wanted to help the Wei family and the Queen, but she couldn't think of a good way.

...

Gu Chongyi gave Wei Yuanchen to the table and began to think about the change after the case.

Lin Sizhen was beheaded by Cui Zhen, and the prince was sent to the capital. It was time for them to return to the capital. Although the place is becoming more and more stable, the capital will inevitably be in chaos.

When Linsi was in chaos, the Tatars attacked the northern border pass, the prince had an unshirkable responsibility, not to mention that the dignified crown prince was almost abducted by the Tatars, so how could the Great Zhou Dynasty have the face?

After this incident, the crown prince could not be the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don’t know which prince the position of crown prince was to fall on. The prince should have been secretly competing. Several adult princes under the emperor, except for the crown prince, the second prince was executed, the fourth prince died young, and the third prince gathered a group of strange people to study knowledge in the mansion every day, as if they had long been out of place with the outside world.

The fifth prince is weak and sickly and rarely walks outside. These two princes don’t seem to be suitable for replacing the crown prince, but that was before, one after another, now there is a better opportunity. Once you become the crown prince, you can reach that position with justification. Anyone wants to give it a try.

I don't know who will surface first...

Gu Chongyi put aside these thoughts first and raised his glass to drink with Cheng Yi and Wei Yuanchen. Mr. Wei was so cunning and unwilling to express his emotions in front of others. His eyes were particularly deep, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.

Wei Yuanchen looked at the red bean cake on the table, and moved his chopsticks to hold a piece of it and took a bite. The outer skin of the red bean cake was not soft enough, but the filling inside was delicious. The red bean filling was not ground and it was too broken. There were also a little osmanthus flowers in it, which looked very similar to the way Aunt Xu made on the West Street of Beijing.

Wei Yuanchen couldn't help but stiffen. Miss Gu was busy with Princess Huairou just now, and the red bean cake should have been made by them.

Wei Yuanchen tightened his hands slightly and slowly swallowed the red bean cake. Now he just wanted to grab Miss Gu in front of him, carefully look at what kind of face she had under her skin, and ask her what was related to Rujun?

But he soon thought of her sharp-tongued appearance, and was questioned by him. All he could get was two rows of clear tooth marks.

She didn't want to say that it was useless for him to ask. If he was forced to hide it, it would be even more unworthy of the loss.

Wei Yuanchen lowered his eyes, and now he saw it clearly. If he wanted to ask the truth, he could only try every means to deceive her, deceive her, and subconsciously reveal the truth.

However, it is probably not easy to get this fox into a trap.

"What's the problem with Mr. Wei?" Gu Chongyi looked at Wei Yuanchen's gradually frowning brows and whispered, "Why would you say it out loud? Can't we help?"

What's the problem? Maybe you will face difficulties after returning to the capital, but these are not as good as Gu Hou's treasured daughter. Wei Yuanchen was about to speak out and reject Gu Hou's kindness, Chu Jiu quickly stepped forward to report.
